Nasa astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon completed a six hour 27 minute spacewalk outside the ISS on Thursday. They fitted the final mounting hardware for a new solar array on the station's 3B power channel, part of a project to boost output by up to 30 percent. It was Menon's first spacewalk and Meir's sixth, the 96th US spacewalk conducted outside the station.
